I. Introduction
So your a new member to CFPH? - Let me guess you joined to find hacks for crossfire? No surprise since the sites called CrossFire Public Hacks. CFPH is a great community to interact and make new friends!
II. How to Start
Well you Registered so thats a start. Good job doing that with out our help. First thing you can do is make a introduction topic here [https://cfph.forumotion.net/new-and-returning-member-introduction-f5/]CFPH- Introduction Topic[/URL]
If you don’t know how to post a thread here’s a short tutorial:
III. How to add a signature/avatar
So now you know how to post! Good for you! But don’t you notice and empty space below your posts when other users have shiny pictures? Well you too can have shiny pictures everywhere!
Firstly, go to ‘User CP’, which can be found below the CFPH banner rrriiiight at the top of the page. Here is a quick link: CFPH- User Control Panel
From here you can edit your details, options, avatar, signature, a lot of things. But for now we want avatar. Click ‘Edit your avatar’
If you have saved your avatar you can go to Browse, find your file; click ok then click save changes. If your avatar is hosted on such sites as Tinypic or Imageshack you can simply copy + paste it into the box and press save changes. Great! You’ve added an avatar.
Now, here’s how to add a signature.
In User CP find ‘Edit Your Signature’
Where my images are you can put in your images or words. To put in images all you need to do is copy and paste the URL from the image you have uploaded and press the button that looks like a square with mountains in it and press ok. It should then appear as a url in your signature. There are many options to play around with, so try them out. If you do try things out just press ‘Preview signature’ once you are happy press ‘Save Signature’
How to upload an image:
- Imageshack.us
- Tinypic.com
- Photobucket.com
IV. Proper Posting Etiquette
Posting can be a tiresome thing and can be boring. Some people like to make work easier and shorten there words saying such things as ‘Yh I wil do dat jus 1 sec k?’ This is not cool. It should be written out as ‘Yeah, I’ll do that. Just wait one second, ok?’ People who write in short form are not cool and never will be until they learn to type properly like a civilized person.
1337’ speak is also not proper posting etiquette as it is deemed as ‘childish’ and can be hard to understand. It is not advised to use
‘1337’ speak at all unless you are using it jokingly, as with short forms of words.
Posts should be something that are thought out, non-hurtful to others and are relevant to the topic. They should be easy to understand and most of all they should be meaningful.
V. Basic Rules
*adding rules in a post soon*
But the rules you need to know are:
-No Flaming
-No Spamming
-No Bumping
-No Begging for hacks
-No Viruses
-Do not disrespect staff
-DO NOT post outside links, please don’t do it.
-Use common sense.
-DO NOT PROMOTE OTHER SITES
